Sophia, all the love and strength in the world to you. You can get through this.

On the very pragmatic front, it may give you some peace of mind to talk to a lawyer that specialized in tenant rights. They may be able to help you put tighter an agreement with your landlord given the fact that you are in therapy and having professional help come in for the cleaning.

Sophia, all the strength and housing~ma and love to you. I cannot imagine how hard it is, but you are brave and capable of this and taking big steps in the right direction.

Making a plan and being in therapy sounds like you are on the right path. Hiring professionals is excellent.

Yes, and trust me on this, the professionals have seen worse.

If there is anything we all can do virtually, please let us know.

And This!

((Sophia)) much strength to you.

Sophia, it sounds to me like getting into therapy and hiring professionals to remove clutter are both excellent healthy steps that should also be demonstrations of good faith effort to your landlord. Much love to you.

Sophia, I hope you're feeling better today. You can do this.

Does anyone have knowledge of how COBRA and getting health insurance works? I have questions that this information packet I just got isn't answering.

I can try to answer, Zen, since we just signed up in August.

In case anyone is worried, we're fine here in Dallas. Apparently there were tornados, but we slept right through any problems.

Thanks, Dana, and I'm glad you all are all right! I'm trying to figure out if I should take COBRA or look for other insurance that might be cheaper. I think I just need to find an insurance broker to walk me through this.

Job~ma, Maria!

We stuck with COBRA because we'd already met our deductible for the year (though that got reversed later, which, what can you say) and because the plan we're on covers prescriptions very well, which is a large part of our costs. Definitely going to look at a new plan in November though, when open enrollment starts.
